It is shite to bully TempleOS's creator.

But it doesn't surprise me.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

I took it as a lighthearted jab at the user of the OS, not as an insult at the creator of the OS. I have mad respect to Terry.

I absolutely cannot figure out what to do in order to fix an Apple computer when it’s bugging out. Is it a part? The OS? Something external? How am I supposed to diagnose this fucker with so little information? Windows is rapidly heading down the same road. Linux will remain the final bastion of those who fix their electronics themselves

macOS is Unix. Everything can be logged and reported through the terminal if you want more debugging information. There are also power tools you can download that give you better GUI-based control over a myriad of things.

Though it’s worse now than it was ten years ago. Apple’s software has been suffering under Tim Cook and it’s probably not going to get better until he’s gone.

support.apple.com

If shit gets real real, developer.apple.com.

If only it had a whole slew of logs, like any other OS, that I could easily Google the locations of... Nah, vomiting ignorance on Lemmy is easier.

I love how controversial this one is.

I tried to be unbiased, but failed. Apple and Linux should be switched.

I don't know about macOS, but from experience, neither Linux nor Windows are actually "just works". Although it will depend on distro, I definitely have different experience on Arch and Manjaro than say Mint users. Mint worked for me well, although older dependencies have also killed "just works" a few times.

Too true. MacOS is the one place you can get a UNIX toolchain in a stable environment. If something works on my Mac, it works on my coworker’s Mac. If something works on Ubuntu but you’re using Nix… Uh, YMMV.

I love Linux, but if you’re gonna use it as a desktop OS, you pretty much accept that you now have a part-time job keeping up on Linux news to deal with the fact that each component of your system is in a perpetual state of “deprecated support for The Old Way, and experimental support for The New Way”.

Our Mac colleague is literally the only one in the dev team having constant troubles, constantly spinning up VMs to get stuff working.

[–] kibiz0r@midwest.social 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, if you have a mixed dev team then I’m sure the odd ones out are gonna have the most trouble.

My point was more that if you have a team of all Macs or a team of all Linux, I’m much more confident in stuff working on everyone’s machine in the Mac scenario.

Even if you stretch it to “the Mac users get to customize the hell out of their machines, and the Linux users only do the minimum to get a fully functional dev environment”, I think the Macs end up in a more consistent state.

Every Flatpak, Snap, and AppImage works on every Linux system I’ve tried.

"oh what a lighthearted and funny Linux meme! Let's just check the upvote rate and…
every time."

[–] Clbull@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

If you think that's bad, look at the LinuxSucks community and how bad they're being ratio'd.

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 43 points 1 day ago (8 children)

Well if your definition of "working" is "can run all the important programs and game" then anything thats not windows or linux wont work.

Working computer - >Mac

Should have been:

Do you have more money than brains?->Mac

Or

Fuck this, I'm doing this for shit and giggles. ->Mac

So I'm switching to TempleOS.

Do you like being spied on and having your data sold?
=> Windows or ChromeOS

Do you have too much money?
=> Mac

Do you have a decent set of working brains?
=> Linux
